Overview

Boathouse Cottage stands on its own by the banks of the River Tweed. At the end of a quiet country lane, with no through traffic, it is about 0.75 miles (15 minutes walk) from the centre of the village of Norham.

It has its own private garden and commands superb views to and across the river as well as up and downstream. Behind the cottage is a bank with mature woodland. Above that is open farmland with many miles of footpaths.

The cottage was extensively improved, extended & fully modernised in 1999. In 2016 the whole ground floor was stripped out and re-built. The property has a Visit England 4 star rating.
